A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the primary school website. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will allow you to create many subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it takes two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the web hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to very easily see and control them. Using fast access links, you'll be able to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
